I recently updated rasa from 1.10.15 to 1.10.18, when I tried to run the rasa-x with the same config I am getting “daemonic processes are not allowed to have children” this is related to pika-event-broker.

For 1.10.15 my endponits.yml contained the following

```
event_broker:
  type: "pika"
  url: ${RABBITMQ_HOST}
  username: ${RABBITMQ_USERNAME}
  password: ${RABBITMQ_PASSWORD}
  queue: ${RABBITMQ_QUEUE}

```

I was getting an error related to queue or queues not being supplied so I changed this to

```
event_broker:
  type: "pika"
  url: ${RABBITMQ_HOST}
  username: ${RABBITMQ_USERNAME}
  password: ${RABBITMQ_PASSWORD}
  queues:
      - ${RABBITMQ_QUEUE}

```

The error went away but now I am getting a different error, the logs are mentioned below, If I remove the event\_broker code from endpoints.yml everything works but that just defeats the purpose of rasa-x.

Any idea what’s the issue here, I did find [daemonic processes are not allowed to have children · Issue #4525 · celery/celery · GitHub](https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/4525) but not sure how am I suppose to use in the above issue.

Was this an error or just a warning? If it was a warning, it should be fine to keep it as you had before

Nope, this was an error, it resulted in the production docker image being recreated again and again when I tried to up rasa-x with these changes, I ended up reverting things.

Since then we have moved to rasa 2.X and have not faced this issue again.
